I'm over at the Sheraton, C-16, through Wed. Don't need transportation, though I appreciate the offer. Stop on by if you want, anytime.
Bill - I'd edit out those phone numbers. Not a good idea to post them in a forum. Use a private message for sharing them

Go talk to him Mon. Depending on weather, which isn't looking all that good at this point, I'm hoping to be in Orkacoke next weekend, then on up to Manteo. So far though, the forecast is looking a lot like this weekend.
Heard it got up to 40 knots on the Nuese yesterday. Not pleasant weather for cruising or anchoring, though I'm sure a major adrenline rush for some. So I figured this would be a good time to take a slip, since there were things I needed to do here anyway.

Looks like taking a slip was a good idea. Wind's still 'ahowling, which while great for daysailing, isn't so great for cruising or anchoring. Forecast is for settling down midweek, then back to same for the weekend. Still hoping to make Orkacoke though. Just have to wait and see.
Did a Walmart run, and the wind 'bout blew half the stuff out of the cart before I got to the boat. (Not whining, just commenting) Though it's nice being hooked up and having a real shower, I feel antsy about moving on. Seems the longer I'm out, the more I prefer anchoring out, especially since I'm not a bar hopper.

Head out for Oriental this morning. Not sure yet though, where after that. Took in the Friday night deck party, and realized why I don't do the bar scene. And now, I get to do laundry. Oh how the mighty are fallen

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Dawg - though it may not seem like it at times, reality is one thing I am well grounded in. Ignore it sometimes, but never forget it

Well, plans have changed. Still in New Bern, at least through Monday, or possibly the next year. Have a couple more people to go see about working on Monday.
Oddly enough, my original plan was to stay in Carolina for a while, getting to know the girl I met in Raleigh. And now, 2 years later, after she bailed, it looks like I'll be staying here any way. Might even be a good way to meet someone who actually walks the walk, rather than just talks the talk.
